[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too much. Plus they also get vacation days which seems insane for a teacher on a school schedule.[/quote]
Stop pulling “facts” out your arse. Teachers are given 12 days, or 96 hours, of leave. We have the option to use some of those hours for personal leave. We do not get sick leave AND vacation days. It all comes from the same bank of days/hours. If a teacher has missed more than the yearly allotted hours, he/she is likely using hours carried over from previous years, FMLA, of leave without pay.

12 - more than 2 weeks worth- is a lot for a job that already has many built in weeks of vacation.

NYC: 10 days
MoCo: 10 days[/quote]

Thanks for your opinion.  :roll: I'll make sure teachers save their cancer treatments, respiratory infections, heart attacks, surgeries and other medical issues until a more convenient "vacation" time. I will also make sure none of their family members die, their children graduate, or friends/family marry until it is convenient for you.

Teachers are [u]humans[/u] and life does not stop just because school is in session. This is true for people in all career fields, whether they have less or more leave than teachers.[/quote]

The teachers most in need of support due to serious or chronic illness tend to be known to their community.  We've had two teachers deal with cancer treatment mid school year and they've received nothing but love and support while they dealt with treatment and recovery.  They are not the ones anyone is talking about here.  We've had other teachers who just routinely burn the maximum sick days available (and sometimes beyond), sometimes conveniently around breaks.  Not sure if it's a sick out as passive aggressive protest or they're just burned out and don't want to be there.[/quote]
